Re: [LI] Re : HALT by a user



Hi,
	Look into /etc/inittab. This file has the setting for different
run-levels, tty's, ups-control and trapping of ctrl-alt-delete, etc.

<snip>
# Things to run in every runlevel.
ud::once:/sbin/update

# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
<\snip>

You could change the command to be executed to something displaying an
error message.

Cya,
Sojan.
